I am working on an app using cocos2d-x v2.2.3 for iOS (in C++) and currently trying to hide the status bar when the splash screen is being shown.
I have:
1) Added "View controller-based status bar appearance" -> NO to ios/Info.plist
2) Added setStatusBarHidden code to rootviewController (http://www.cocos2d-x.org/forums/6/topics/29675)
but none of them seem to work. Any ideas as to how I can get this to work? Currently using Xcode 5.1
Set YES for this key in info.plist "UIStatusBarHidden"
If you want to hide or unhide after also then you have to follow bit different procedure for iOS 7
